In this paper, we introduce the truncated symbol $\mathrm{Symb}_0(\mathbb{D})$ of a differential symmetry breaking operator $\mathbb{D}$ between parabolically induced representations. This generalizes the symbol map $\mathrm{Symb}$, which…

Let D be a connected component of a reductive group over an algebraically closed field. We define a surjective map from the unipotent character sheaves on D to the set of strata of D, extending an earlier result which applied to connected…

Using general principles in the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, we obtain a bosonic, twisted construction of a certain central extension of a Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, for an…

Given a two-dimensional quantum lattice model with an abelian gauge theory interpretation, we investigate a duality operation that amounts to gauging its invertible 1-form symmetry, followed by gauging the resulting 0-form symmetry in a…

In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of a twisted version of the two-dimensional $(0,2)$ heterotic sigma model on a holomorphic gauge bundle $\mathcal E$ over a complex, hermitian manifold $X$. We show that the model can be…

In this note we present a work in progress whose main purpose is to establish a categorified version of sheaf theory. We present a notion of derived categorical sheaves, which is a categorified version of the notion of complexes of sheaves…

We associate to outer automorphisms of generalized Kac-Moody algebras generalized character-valued indices, the twining characters. A character formula for twining characters is derived which shows that they coincide with the ordinary…

In previous work we derived the topological terms in the M-theory action in terms of certain characters that we defined. In this paper, we propose the extention of these characters to include the dual fields. The unified treatment of the…

We study the representation theory of graded Hecke algebras, starting from scratch and focusing on representations that are obtained with induction from a discrete series representation of a parabolic subalgebra. We determine all…

We discuss the duality symmetries of Type II string effective actions in nine, ten and eleven dimensions. As a by-product we give a covariant action underlying the ten--dimensional Type IIB supergravity theory. We apply duality symmetries…

Let G be a connected reductive group, P its parabolic subgroup. We consider the parabolic semi-infinite category of sheaves on the affine Grassmanian of G and construct the parabolic version of the semi-infinite IC-sheaf of each orbit. We…

We establish a new group-theoretic realization of the basic representations of the twisted affine and twisted toroidal algebras of ADE types in the same spirit of our new approach to the McKay correspondence. Our vertex operator…

We apply the new orbifold duality transformations to discuss the special case of cyclic coset orbifolds in further detail. We focus in particular on the case of the interacting cyclic coset orbifolds, whose untwisted sectors are…

Vertex operator realizations of symplectic and orthogonal Schur functions are studied and expanded. New proofs of determinant identities of irreducible characters for the symplectic and orthogonal groups are given. We also give a new proof…

In this lecture we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. Our analysis is based on an approach to modular invariants using braided sector induction…

In the analytic study of trace functions of $\ell$-adic sheaves over finite fields, a crucial issue is to control the conductor of sheaves constructed in various ways. We consider cohomological transforms on the affine line over a finite…

We exhibit an intimate relationship between "reciprocity sheaves" from arXiv:1402.4201 [math.AG] and "modulus sheaves with transfers" from arXiv:1908.02975 [math.AG] and arXiv:1910.14534 [math.AG].

We introduce a new method for ``twisting'' relative equivalences of derived categories of sheaves on two spaces over the same base. The first aspect of this is that the derived categories of sheaves on the spaces are twisted. They become…

In this paper we prove a new characterization of the distinguished unipotent orbits of a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. For classical groups we prove the characterization by a combinatorial…
